Missing and Longing for Mother

These poems express the deep sorrow and longing felt for a mother who has passed away, capturing the emotions of missing her presence and love.

1. To Mother In Heaven
   Poet: Leila Mae Wilson
   
   I miss you my mother, my mother.
   Tho’ earth is so bright and so fair,
   Tho’ June has come romping in splendor,
   With sunshine and roses so rare.
   
   I miss you, my mother, my mother.
   But over the river’s deep gloom,
   I know it is Junetide forever,
   And fadeless and fair is the bloom.
   
   I miss you, my mother, my mother.
   The touch of your dear, loving hand.
   The breath of your kiss on my forehead,
   The tear I could best understand.
   
   I miss you, my mother, my mother.
   In fancy I still hear you call;
   From out of the shadows and silence,
   I catch your soft footsteps light fall.
   
   I miss you, my mother, my mother.
   Your words and your sweet tender smile.
   Your dear little tender caresses,
   The shadows of life to beguile.
   
   I miss you, my mother, my mother.
   But death will not linger too long.
   He’ll call me at last o’er the river,
   To dwell with the sanctified throng.
   
   To miss you, my mother, my mother.
   No more in that beautiful place,
   But dwell in your presence forever,
   And share in your heavenly grace.




2. Thinking Of Mother
   Poet: C. A. Lynch
   
   When I think of the mother I've loved,
   One of hope, grace, and strength.
   I feel a sadness so deep, it knows no bounds.
   Her passing leaves me empty and longing.
   No more hugs, no more smiles will I know.
   My mother is in heaven's abode,
   Which was God's promise to those He loves.
   Though my heart aches for her here on Earth,
   This gives me comfort that she's at peace above.




3. Lives In Heaven
   Poet: C. A. Lynch
   
   My mother lives in Heaven now,
   I long to see her smiling face;
   A glimpse of her I'll never find -
   But in my heart, she has a place.
   
   For her, I will continue on,
   Carrying the legacy she's made.
    Though we must remain apart,
   In thought and deed, she is not far away.
   
   Her love and joy will ever remain,
   Within me, like a guiding star.
   For that I am so grateful, for though gone from sight -  
   I never forget who I am for: My mother's in heaven tonight.




4. Above The Clouds
   Poet: C. A. Lynch
   
   Riding high above the clouds,
   Miss you, Mom, I think of you so loud.
    My tears are free like a river tide,
   Oh, how I long to be by your side.  
   
   In my heart, you will always remain,
   Until that day that I meet again.  
   Then we’ll look down at the earth below,
   Our forever love eternally aglow.







5. Mother Dear!
   Poet: E. Nesbit Bland
   
   Since you were tired and went away
   We've brought you flowers every day,
   Now through your grass live daisies peer,
   O mother, mother dear!
   
   They say you are not very far.
   But since we cry we know you are;
   We should not cry if you were near,
   O mother, mother dear!
   
   Mother, you know we sometimes cry
   In the dark night, we don't know why;
   You would not let us cry for fear,
   O mother, mother dear!
   
   We think perhaps you did not know
   Your little children loved you so.
   Or you would not have left them here,
   O mother, mother dear!
   
   If we are good we think that then
   Perhaps you will come back again;
   Come in a week - a month - a year,
   O mother, mother dear!
   
   O mother, mother, come to-day!
   Why did you ever go away?
   We are so tired of being here
   Without you, mother dear!

   My mother, taken too soon from me,
   But I can feel her in my heart through eternity.
   Her legacy is left here for us to carry on,
   I know she’ll be my guiding star ‘til the break of dawn.
   
   Memories linger ever so sweet and dear,
   Though still I find myself shedding tears.
   I will meet her again in Heaven one day,  
   Until then I will reflect on the love she had sent my way.







7. In God's Presence
   Poet: C. A. Lynch
   
   Though you are no longer with us here,
   In God's presence, you are near.
   Your love and warmth I still feel,
   Knowing one day, our spirits will seal.

8. Living With The King
   Poet: C. A. Lynch
   
   My mother’s life beheld a fraction,
   A stunningly beautiful song,
   Full of grace and blessed passion,
   To which all angels now sing along.
   
   The sweetest love she did create –
   So much love it had to soar;
   Though I miss her with ache and wait,
   I know in Heaven she must adore.
   
   God’s arms hold her there with peace,
   His hands tucked beneath her wings;
   He wraps her ‘round with perfect ease,
   In heaven, she is living with the King.

10. Mother Mine
    Poet: Roden Noel
    
    It may be, mother mine, when you departed,
    White and silent, that you did not wholly go,
    Never left your children broken-hearted,
    Help them more, are nearer than they know.
    And your remembered tones are more than music.
    More than day the memory of your smile;
    Clear from all the cadences of sorrow.
    May I hear them, and behold them in a little while!
